In a ceremony held yesterday, which had been postponed due to the current COVID-19 situation and health authority-imposed restrictions, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme finally awarded the medals to the top three finishers in the 2020 X-Trial World Championship, with Repsol Honda Team rider Toni Bou, collecting the champion’s trophy and medal.

Bou was the winner of all five points-paying trials in the championship (La Reunion, Vendée, Budapest, Barcelona and Bilbao), where he demonstrated a similar level of performance to that seen in the previous 2020 championship. Bou remains as eager as ever to get back in the saddle in 2021. The multi-time champion received the gold medal from the vice president of the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme, Ignacio Verneda.

2020 has been a special, yet particular season. When we started in November 2019, we could never have imagined how it would have ended. The season was a very positive one, because I won all the trials, although it was tough because the riders were more evenly matched than the result of the final championship table shows. It was not easy to make a difference, especially in the finals. Since then I have continued to improve as well as analysing which areas I can work on and improve for next season. I am satisfied not only with my wins but also with my consistency and I am looking forward to racing again, especially once we can return to normal life without the current health risks. That's the most important thing: reaching the end of this global nightmare caused by the pandemic.
